Oscar had a human he named Feddy Mercury.

[u/DarkDonut75 → u/MathematicianNew2770]

Was Feddy named after the lead singer of Queens Freddy Mercury?

[u/kukienboks → u/DarkDonut75]

Nah, the spelling is too different.

[u/vaime → u/MathematicianNew2770]

Classic orange, couldn’t even get the spelling of the human he named himself right.

[u/StoicSpork → u/MathematicianNew2770]

Feedie Mercury?

[u/MissSweetMurdererr → u/StoicSpork]

OMG! Another one bites the dust was about the horrors of the empty bowl! 🤣🤣🤣

Oscar had seen some shit

He adored his cats.  If I recall, he left his home to his former girlfriend who took care of them for the rest of their life.  This orange guy could have afforded to rent out the braincell, he was loaded.

I love Freddie for loving cats so much ❤️

[u/Sad_Ad_2524 → u/Green_Octopuss]

I know, right?  And also taking care of his ex girlfriend.  I think she only sold his house fairly recently.  He really took care of those who took care of him.

I've said multiple times that if reincarnation is real, I want to come back as one of Freddy Mercury's cats. That'd be the hell of a cushy life lol

[u/Luci-Noir → u/Sad_Ad_2524]

Loaded with nip?

[u/andtbhidgaf]

"you're my best friend" makes sense now.

OOOOHH YOU’RE MAKIN’ ME LIVE (now, honey!)

[u/HejijHatseflats → u/andtbhidgaf]

Wait 'till you hear "Delilah" from Innuendo

Talk about likeness

[u/lolascrowsfeet → u/BigDumbMoronToo]

I love him

[u/vintage-cola → u/BigDumbMoronToo]

absolutely no thoughts behind those eyes

[u/oranges214 → u/BigDumbMoronToo]

UNHAND ME YOU MUSICAL GENIUS

[u/No_Prize9794 → u/BigDumbMoronToo]

Oscar is not amused

[u/SudhaTheHill]

Is this why he wrote “don’t stop me now”?

It all makes sense now

[u/mattincalif → u/SudhaTheHill]

“Don’t stop me meow”

[u/microworry → u/SudhaTheHill]

He actually wrote “Delilah” for his favorite cat!

[u/SudhaTheHill → u/microworry]

What about love of my life?

[u/Kampfzwerg1992]

This is why I’m very sure that every cat that crosses the rainbow bridge is looked after by Freddy

[u/thisbuthat]

Both looking way too cool for this world 😎🧡

[u/PsychoSquid]

I have an orange girl named Freddie

[u/eddylet → u/PsychoSquid]

oh man thats a good ass cat name

[u/thegneeb]

cat is pretty good

[u/Repulsive_Drawer8599]

Freddie loved cats so much he even wrote a song for one of his babies, Delilah.

Legendary & legendary.

[u/petwedge]

He had several cats

[u/GreenEyedTreeHugger]

Fantastic photo. 🥰

[u/tamal4444]

Cat is like, am I getting paid for this?

[u/Dr_Mantis_Teabaggin]

Too bad he didn’t name him Freddy Purrcury

[u/cyberpunk_1984]

Great singer, great man, and his pics with cats are pretty iconic

[u/Fred-the-stray]

Makes me like him even more !

[u/BeyondTheBees]

It was his birthday on Saturday! ♥️

[u/Citizen__Seven]

well he had about ten of them at Garden Lodge and he took it seriously. Mr Bad Guy in 1985 got dedicated to his cats by name and Delilah on Innuendo is a straight love song to his tortoiseshell, with Brian May making his guitar meow. Story goes he'd ring home from tour and get Mary to hold the phone up to whichever cat he wanted to speak to. Oscar had a good gig

[u/Cranberry-Electrical]

What year was this image?

[u/kukienboks → u/Cranberry-Electrical]

1988 according to other photos that look like they’re from the same session.

There's also an orange cat in this photo from 1991 who might well be Oscar.

[u/JoleeFriendbro → u/veldtx]

Pedantic I know: but he was famously bisexual, not gay - and said the love of his life was a woman.

[u/Potential-Yogurt9545]

You mean Oscar had a human named Freddy😅

[u/MoccaLG]

Freddy Mercury (RIGHT) had an orange cat named Oscar (LEFT)

[u/IllAcanthopterygii36]

Oscar wants to break free.

[u/ClockIndividual7335]

Okay, I did not know this! 😂 An orange cat named Oscar living with Freddie Mercury is such a perfect combo.

[u/BeautifulStudent2215]

I love this. It makes the cat cover of bohemian rhapsody ever better!!

[u/PrincessTitan]

They look like each other kek
